On-call weekends are generally not exciting, and this one was no exception.
I had a long list of things to do around the house, trying to stay busy until 7 p.m.
I finally took down all of the pinecones and winter decor and pulled out my bunnies and some fake ivy I bought last time I went thrifting.
I just keep recycling wreaths, changing them up a little bit and using what I already have. I also spent time doing some baking, which I almost never have time for nowadays.
I made an exception for Saturday: Walnut Raisin Pie for dessert this weekend, Pumpkin Pecan Muffins to freeze, and White Chocolate Peppermint cookie dough for when The Girl visits. Bonus: the house smelled delightful.
For dinner on Saturday night, we went to Georgetown and ate at 600 Degrees Pizzeria.
We sat outside at a table for two and enjoyed some beer while we waited for the pizza.
Our pizza did not disappoint. Hubby likes to order it with fresh squeezed garlic on top. We called it at night around 10 p.m.
Around noon we headed to Burnet for our last wine club pick-up at Wedding Oak. We have mixed feelings about dropping this wine club. But, as I remind Hubby, we can stop in any time to visit without being wine club members. While we were there, we had BBQ sammies from Bohemian BBQ food truck, which were very good. After lunch we headed where else? - Highlands.
We filled up our water buffalo, but had zero plans to do anything else there but relax.
It was a grey day, but we built a small fire in the firepit and enjoyed one of the wines we had just picked up - a Petit Verdot that was excellent. There were LOTS of deer - 11 at one time which is unusual to see up there. They didn't seem particularly bothered by us. Around 7 we headed home to enjoy a grilled pork rib chop, loaded baked potato, and a salad with sliced pear - all good. This week is a doozy, but we are halfway to our next weekend already!
